It's normal to be nervous about this especially if its your first purchase-even after your first purchase.

I would remind prospective investors that -- though these returns are "normal" these days, they are not normal overall. 

Hi @Katrina CabralI'm not an expert in this, but I think you would need to try and negotiate with the 'Fee' owner what the price of purchasing the fee would be - like a normal transaction.

It happened to us too - we got a HELOC and used it to make a large acquisition, and it got reported as an increase to 50% credit utilization rate (from our normal 1-2% monthly) and caused a drop of 30 points in score. 

Many times strange visitors to the property would knock the wrong doors and wake neighbors up in the middle of the night - my immediate neighbor has videos of that ..the cops have been here many many times..And the list goes on... 

If everything checks out and there is only ONE thing that doesn't meet all requirements, I would normally request additional deposit, a Guarantor, or (in your case) reach out to the previous landlord before the treatment center.

The proper quote was about 3x the normal home owners policy I’ve been seeing down here for my property.

If they are a good tenant otherwise, maybe offer that you will get the lawn back to a manageable condition via lawn care service, then he can continue to maintain it for the $50/mo discount, or if he doesn't want to do it, he can just pay the normal lease amount.

Delays and overuns are normal, but it is all relative. 

I would strongly encourage anyone reading this post who has used that site as guidance in the past to do the same.My normal practice when determining market rent is to use a range of factors, that include GoSection8 data, the local housing authority's published rent matrix, information from Rentometer, from Zillow's rent estimator, and the MLS.
